The narrating was not for me, I found his tone very boring, he doesn’t come across as a charming, wise cracking tough guy...he sounds like a tax attorney or a history professor...I will never purchase another audio book without listening to the sample....huge mistake...I have been listening to Spenser stories for years and just assumed they were all the same quality...my bad...so I’m going to have to suffer through this book...not sure I can do it! And to all the previous reviewers who gave this guy a 4.5 star rating...You should be ashamed...starting to think the reviews are a bit watered down too!

Always love the Spenser books. This an early one that I had never read and I enjoyed it as usual. Maybe more so because I knew how Spenser would become more sophisticated and have a love interest.
